Do you use real time Anti-Virus protection?

[mike21]

I couldn't find my question and I am interested to see members setup. Do you use antivirus real time protection?

[nikanthpromod]

No real time AV
Just Firewall with HIPS

[mike21]

Me too. As my signature, with on demand scans with Dr.Web Cureit and Malwarebytes.

[nikanthpromod]

I was using Eset . I tried many AVs .
All of them are now resource hogs due to large signature database.
SO i changed to HIPS . NO database . SO very light
On demand scan with Hitman pro. I know No malware can bypass my sandboxed browser and HIPS.

[noone_particular]

Stopped using AVs almost 5 years ago.

[YeOldeStonecat]

Yes..always did, always will.

[trjam]

Yes and always will.

I am running Avast! AV. It runs in the back ground quietly doing its thing, so I see no reason to run without the protection.

[CiX]

Yes, I won 't turn off real time protection of my AV.

Real time av + HIPS/firewall, and something else. Multi-layered defense.

[c2d]

Yes....NOD32

[Motherroad]

No. DefenseWall and Avira10 on demand.

[NoIos]

I have PCs that run with and others that run without.

Yes, Microsoft Security Essentials - a very good free AV solution...

Some nice reviews/news about it:

[ALookingInView]

Yes.
I'm too lazy to do an on-demand scan everytime I download something, not to mention too scatterbrained to always remember to.

[Konata Izumi]

No. Just LUA/SRP/DEP/ACL
a firewall with keylogger detection.
and a system virtualization software.

details here.

If there's something I want to add...
that is a program that can Block malicious access to browser windows (i.e. Prevx SafeOnline) but I lack system resources for that.
I don't know if Sandboxie can do the task.

[LambRador]

Yes, on execution (OA++).

Same here,

[Boost]

Nope!

[Melchi501]

No Av... Shadow Defender

[icr]

Depends for now I am using AV and on some other day I don't

[Ed_H]

No...using DefenseWall and Avira on demand only.

[the Tester]

Yes. I use Avast 5 and have it running real-time all the time.
Plus I use PCTools Firewall Plus and Win Patrol Plus.

Yes - there is no reason to turn it off.

[Get]

Yes. Avast free. For me there's no reason to not use it. Given the amount of times my AV (NOD/Avast) has ever catched anything in recent years there appears to be no reason to use it either ,but it's very light so it stays.
